Sunburn Treatment

Sunburn Treatment in South Plainfield, NJ

Sunburns are common, acute inflammatory responses to the skin being exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR).

A few risk factors of getting sunburned include:

Duration of exposure

Height of the sun – greatest exposure is midday, around noon

Lack of protective sunscreen or clothing

Lighter skin pigmentation

Most sunburns are easily treated with home remedies, while a severe sunburn might need the evaluation of a physician. You might want to visit a physician if you’re experiencing symptoms such as blistering, excessive peeling, chills or fever, or dizziness.
